Coming up on FOX 4 News at 10: Governor Ron DeSantis just introduced a new bill that would potentially jail protesters present at any protest that turns violent.

During the last few months, demonstrations have sparked across the country following the death of George Floyd.

Floyd died while in the custody of Minneapolis Police.

Local protest groups say this new bill violates their first amendment rights.

FOX 4's Christina Evans breaks down the details of that bill.
